FASHION & ACCESSORIES

Despite what your banker may say, Haute Couture pieces, iconic bags, and designer dresses are in high demand at auctions. You no longer have to feel guilty about buying these collector's items or vintage luxury articles from the most famous fashion houses because they have become a real investment for an international clientele. Also, nowadays, second-hand luxury items interst the heritage departments of major luxury fashion houses as well as museums looking to invest in the fashion industry.
 

 

CHANEL, HERMÈS, DIOR, AND MANY MORE... BIG NAMES AND HOUSES, FOR ITEMS WITH STORIES.

We regularly organise auctions dedicated to these fascinating pieces.

It is a highly dynamic market: things move fast, and prices can quickly soar.

Are your wardrobes filled with Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Comme des Garçons, Alaïa or Hermès? (Lucky you…) Whether you have built a collection of luxury fashion or simply own a few designer bags and accessories, it is worth taking a closer look at their value.

Let’s assess them together — you might be surprised.

And because jewellery is always the finishing touch to an outfit, we also specialise in Haute Couture jewellery by designers such as Baretti, Gripoix, Goossens, Chanel, Balenciaga, Dior, Lanvin and Hervé Van der Straeten.

Trust us, fashion is worth it!
We will assess the value of your pieces together.

The Dior Haute Couture auction from the personal collection of Madame Mouna Ayoub, held on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at Hôtel Le Bristol Paris, achieved 100% of lots sold, attracted more than 1,000 visitors and set four world records, including an absolute record for a Haute Couture auction, with a total of €6,187,610.

This sale surpassed our previous record, set by the historic auction held on January 27, 2025, featuring a Martin Margiela collection, which achieved €1,889,000 with 100% of lots sold, once again confirming fashion as a major field of investment.

In July 2026, we also organised the “Martin Margiela – Personal Archives” auction, which achieved €1,385,020 with 100% of lots sold. On that occasion, a pair of Tabi boots dating from 1991 sold for €364,000, setting a new record for a Martin Margiela piece.

Twice a year, our auction house partners with Kerry Taylor Auctions, based in London, the world’s leading auction house specialising in fashion.
